One off my wish list

[Wilkie]

Here is one I'd been trying to get a hold of for years. I finally got one this week! I can check this one off my list. This in not the pontilled version. This is the mustard, I still have the pepper on my list and also the pontilled versions of both.

I added two more to my wish list recently when I saw them on eBay, they are a U.S. Navy Mustard and Pepper but they are "SQUARE" instead of paneled. Didn't know they excisted till I saw 'em. Too bad I was at work when they ended and I didn't bid high enouph.

What a great historic bottle!
Wouldn't mind one of those myself.

Thank you Miles.

I see you are from New York. Do you know anything about a companly called H.K. & F.B. Thurber & Company? I had another post for a jake I just purchased and it's one I'd never heard of. The link to that thread is: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/New-Jake---very-unusual/m-194487/tm.htm

GOOD FOR YOU. THAT'S GREAT!
I LOVE NAVY!
MY DAD WAS IN THE NAVY WW 2.
ON A SUBMARINE FOR 2 YEARS STRAIGHT.
I REMEMBER WE HAD SILVERWARE
THAT WAS U. S. N. I THINK I STILL
HAVE ONE PIECE TO PUT IN A MEMORY
FRAME OF MY DAD.

I HOPE YOU GET THE PIECES YOU WANT.
I KNOW YOU WILL. PICTURE IT IN YOUR MIND.
GOOD LUCK. []

One more to check off the list

I made a trade yesterday for this blue Dickey's, it goes with my amber Dickey pictured with it. Would you call this "cobalt" blue or "cornflower" blue. There are other colors of this one that I will add whenever the oppurtunity arises. They are all varients of blue or amber and I believe there is an aqua as well. This blue one is one of the older varients. You'll notice the difference in the lips and the strength of the embosssing.

Hey Tim,

Glad to see you finally got that blue dickey's you've been looking for.

Yes I would call it cornflower blue as well and a nice older one at that.

Great find/trade,

Doug
